A. We are a co-educational school from Nursery through to Year 13. We follow the adapted National Curriculum of England and Wales, Cambridge Primary and Secondary Programme in English, Science and Maths, IGCSE and IB DP curriculum (although we are mindful of our setting in Romania) and our school year runs from September through mid-June.

Q. Do you have any requirements regarding qualifications or experience?

Please be clear which role you are applying for when you send in your application.

Q. When will I hear back from you?

A. You should get an email response within a few days in receipt of your application. After this we will then only contact successfully short-listed candidates, although we may contact you and ask for references prior to short-listing.

We will also ask for at least two references, one of which should be your current/most recent Head Teacher.
